How to Migrate from 17hats to Agiled (2026 Step-by-Step Guide)
17hats does not offer a full account export, so there is no automatic import into Agiled. The realistic move is a 1-2 week parallel switch: rebuild your core templates and main workflow in Agiled, route new leads there, let active 17hats projects finish, then export contacts and download records before cancelling. This guide covers what carries over, how features map, and what 17hats actually costs once add-ons are included.
17hats is a tidy all-in-one for solo business owners: CRM, quotes, contracts, invoicing, scheduling, and basic workflows in a single plan. The friction shows up as you grow: it is built for one user, several capabilities are paid add-ons, and there is no real project management. If that describes you, moving to Agiled gets you team support, projects, and time tracking without stacking add-on fees.

Why people move from 17hats to Agiled
- Single-user by design. 17hats is built around one operator. Additional users are a paid add-on, and there is no real team collaboration, so growing past yourself is awkward.
- Add-ons stack up. 17hats is now a single all-inclusive plan, but time tracking, bank connection, extra users, and extra brands are separate $5-$10/month add-ons. The headline price is not the full price.
- No project management. There are no Kanban boards, Gantt charts, task dependencies, or project templates. Multi-week or multi-deliverable work pushes you into a second tool.
- Flat pricing regardless of size. 17hats is $60/month ($600/year, or $800 for two years), the same whether you use a slice of it or all of it.
Agiled gives you the same lead-to-payment flow plus project management, time tracking, team and HR features, and a client portal, with those capabilities included rather than billed as add-ons.
What you can (and cannot) export from 17hats
| Data in 17hats | Can you take it? | How |
|---|---|---|
| Contacts / clients | Yes | Export to CSV |
| Signed contracts | Yes, as records | Download signed PDFs |
| Invoices & payment history | Partial | Download invoice PDFs; full history stays in 17hats |
| Quote / contract templates | No bulk export | Recreate in Documents |

The takeaway: clients and signed records come with you; templates and workflows get rebuilt. 17hats setups tend to be lean, so the rebuild is usually quick.

What it costs after you switch

Time tracking, bank connect, extra users, and extra brands are $5-$10/month add-ons each.

Mistakes to avoid
- Forgetting the two-year billing term. If you prepaid for two years, time your cancellation around the renewal date.
- Cancelling before downloading contracts and records. Retrieving them afterward is painful.
- Recreating templates you never use. Migrate your core few.
- Leaving your website pointed at 17hats. Swap every lead link.
- Skipping the end-to-end test.
When you should stay on 17hats
- You are a true solo operator with no plans to add staff, your work is single-session (no multi-week projects), and you do not need the paid add-ons. The single plan keeps things simple.
If you are adding team members, need real project management, or are tired of stacking add-ons, the move to Agiled pays off. See the Agiled vs 17hats comparison.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I automatically import my 17hats account into Agiled?
No. 17hats does not offer a complete account export, so there is no true one-click import. You can import contacts via CSV and recreate templates and workflows manually. 17hats setups are usually lean, so this tends to be quick.
What does 17hats actually cost in 2026?
17hats is a single all-inclusive plan billed three ways: $60/month, $600/year ($50/month equivalent), or $800 for two years ($33/month equivalent), often with a 50% first-purchase promo. Time tracking, bank connection, additional users, and additional brands are separate $5-$10/month add-ons, so the real cost depends on which add-ons you use.
Does Agiled support teams better than 17hats?
Yes. 17hats is built for a single user, with extra users sold as a paid add-on and no real collaboration features. Agiled is designed for teams, with roles, permissions, HR, and shared projects, so you can add staff without re-platforming.
Will I lose my contracts if I cancel 17hats?
Not if you download them first. Signed contracts remain valid as PDFs. Download every signed contract and invoice record you need before cancelling, since easy in-app access ends afterward.
Does Agiled include project management that 17hats lacks?
Yes. 17hats has no Kanban boards, Gantt charts, dependencies, or project templates. Agiled includes full project management alongside your CRM, contracts, and invoicing, so multi-week client work no longer needs a second tool.
